Second Nic does not work

| Hello all,
I'm trying to configure a second nic card in a ES40 (5.1B) alphaserver
without any luck.The firmware console and the OS both see the card. But
when I try to bring up the tu0 interface
no traffic seems to going thru it. Ping does not return.
I have already the done the following -
1. on firmware console
set ewa0_mode auto
2. built a new kernel using doconfig.
here are the kernel messages -
( nic card that does not work)
Aug 1 10:52:32 yamuna vmunix: tu0: DECchip 21143: Revision: 3.0
Aug 1 10:52:32 yamuna vmunix: tu0: auto negotiation capable device
Aug 1 10:52:32 yamuna vmunix: tu0 at pci1 slot 3
Aug 1 10:52:32 yamuna vmunix: tu0: DEC TULIP (10/100) Ethernet
Interface, hardware address: 00-00-F8-08-38-30
Aug 1 10:52:32 yamuna vmunix: tu0: auto negotiation off: selecting
10BaseT (UTP) port: full duplex
( nic card which works)
Aug 2 07:25:11 yamuna vmunix: ee0 at pci1 slot 6
Aug 2 07:25:11 yamuna vmunix: ee0: COMPAQ Intel 82559 (10/100 Mbps)
Ethernet Interface
Aug 2 07:25:11 yamuna vmunix: ee0: Driver Rev = V1.0.28, Chip Rev = 8,
hardware address: 00-50-8B-B8-9F-69
Does anyone have any suggestions ? does tu0 nic card work with ES40?
thanks in advance

Don't do step 1. Set the mode exactly as you want it, typing "set
ewa0_mode" without any args will show you what's available.

I think to get Tru64 to use more than one NIC you have to use 'lag'
(Link aggregation). man lag for details.

| Thanks for the replies .I solved the problem by putting a newer nic
card.
The one which have the DEC chips are ancient. The card with COMPAQ
Intel 82559 worked without any problems as the secong nic.
